Violet took her first trip to the beach! And her first trip to Lake Michigan too. We went to the west side of Michigan to visit the grandparents and swung by Holland State Park. Please let me deluge you with adorable beachy photos.

It was a beautiful, hot day. Just right for swimming in a warm lake. Maybe a bit too hot for just hanging out.

She took some steps into the water.

And soon she wanted to venture out on her own.

Meanwhile, Mike and I took a stroll on the pier while Violet continued her photo shoot with the grandparents. Of course we had to return to see the cuteness continue.
